Senior Quantitative Analyst, Quantitative & Risk Analytics

Our Quantitative and Risk Analytics group is hiring a Senior Quantitative Analyst to report to the Investment Director of Quantitative and Risk Analytics. The team supports portfolio analytics, simulation-based frameworks, strategic asset allocation, and quantitative research for portfolio managers and investment research teams across asset classes.

This role blends quantitative analysis, applied financial modeling, data & model operations, and software development. You will analyze portfolio, market, and risk data to generate insights for portfolio managers, while also maintaining proprietary datasets, models, and analytics infrastructure to support those insights. You will act as a partner to Portfolio Management and Research, translating investment questions into quantitative analysis, clear interpretation, and scalable analytical workflows.

Given rapid technological change—including the adoption of AI and automation in investment workflows—the candidate will be comfortable modernizing legacy processes, integrating AI-enabled capabilities, and building production-quality analytics that scale without sacrificing analytical rigor.

Hiring Location Options:

• Greater Boston Area (Lincoln, MA) or New York City
• Hybrid schedule: work onsite 3 days per week

This role is intended for a hands-on, mid-level quantitative contributor with the analytical depth to derive insight from complex financial data, the independence to own core analytical processes end-to-end, the collaborative mindset to partner closely with portfolio managers and researchers, and the technical capability to modernize the platform as quantitative investment analytics increasingly incorporate automation and AI.
